April Foodie Penpals Reveal

I know this is May already, but I only got my April Foodie Penpals package today. So here's a reason why Turkey should be a part of the European Union: probably I would have received Vildan's lovely package a lot sooner.

I was completely confused by the next one. The picture showed a cookie, inside all I could see was crumbs, and I couldn't understand a word on the package. The trip must have been long and bumpy! (But all's not lost: I'll think of a use for the crumbs!) // Fiquei completamente confusa com o seguinte. A foto mostrava um biscoito, mas lá dentro só via migalhas e não percebia uma palavra do que estava escrito na embalagem. A viagem deve ter sido longa e acidentada! (Mas nem tudo está perdido: hei-de pensar num uso para as migalhas!)

A-ha-ha :D That's it: a Christmas-feeling. Even trying to decide what's best for a certain person because they're either vegetarian or have allergies or loves cooking is amazing. :) I tend to get a bit "nervous" until I know the package has arrived safely, though. Even politics and economy get in the way: a parcel from England has taken from 2 days (yes!) to 5 days to arrive, but this one, from outside the E.U. was sent about a month ago... Ah, well... It's here now! :)

Oh :/ Why don't you start a similar programme or see if there's already a similar one there? I've been on it since September and I can say there's so much I've learnt / tasted /got inspired with... One thing is to read in books or on Wikipedia about a certain ingredient. But it's quite a different thing to taste it and try it mixed with your own ingredients. :) :) :) I have to use McDonald's words, because... I'M LOVING IT! :P

Eheheh At least it wasn't a liquid! :P It reminds me one time my aunt from Melbourne sent me a box of chocolates - many many many MANY years ago, when they were probably placed next to the plane engines (kidding). I was so excited opening it... then finally I saw the chocolate had all melted and solidified again, in weird shapes. I was SO sad, but couldn't help but laugh at the situation.
